So Much to Blog About...

Man, do I ever have a jam packed week of activities to blog about...Let's start with the actual day itself, Thanksgiving. What a fun day of family and food! We are blessed to have so much family on each side. We started the day over at Daniel's parents house. Both of his brothers were there with their families, as well as some extended family. It was a beautiful day outside. The kids enjoyed a game of football and red rover outside while they waited on the meal. We had the chance to enjoy a meal with both of his brothers at the same time...which rarely happens since we all live in different cities! The picture you see here is of Daniel's parents with all of their grandkids.

We then went for meal #2 over at my parent's house. Only one of my sisters was able to be there this year, but it was still fun. Her teenage girls were excited that they got to be promoted to the "big table" since Allison and Scott were with Scott's family. We ate until we couldn't eat any more. In fact, I had to put on elastic waist pants just to do the dishes...those workout pants came in handy after all!!!

I don't want to miss this opportunity to list the things I am thankful for: my husband's job in this economy, healthy kids, new friends, old friends, the grace of Jesus Christ who forgives me each time I mess up, and many other blessings that are too numerous to count. Oh, it's a tradition at the Carona house that each year one of us says we are thankful for Coach Bob Stoops, and this year is no different! Boy, we love that man!!!

We headed back on Friday, which was really nice. We had Friday evening to unpack and do laundry and get settled so we could enjoy our Saturday, before settling in to watch OU beat OSU!!!
